We are confident that with the launch of Glo TV, our network will cater to the content preferences of Nigerians across different socio-economic groups and offer them an exclusive opportunity to experience the best-in-class TV content.”
Globacom further explained that users of Glo TV will find the service irresistible, as it offers a wide variety of choices from entertainment to news, and education and cartoons, assuring that there will never be a dull moment on the service over the web or app, no matter the user’s subject of interest.
